Maybe it's just me, but I notice no difference between having the ECT turned off and having it set to power.

 

it's definately you.

 

Pocky, do you have a 2nd gen GS300?

 

Power- I need all I can get in my car lol

 

You think?I have a 2800 and shorter gears and I feel like mine falls on its face on those last few rpms.I also think it is just hitting the rev limiter before shifting due to the gears.If it is its just hitting the limiter before it shifts but not cutting out.

 

would putting in pwr and same time eshifting improve shift times?

 

What does ECT Stand for?

Snow mode certainly helps when its ICY out, there is certainly less power... get a lot less torque and less wheel spin. Have not really floored it around two in the other mode.

Electronically Controlled Transmission

 

I keep mine in Power mode most of the time with the traction off. Oh, BTW the guys with the 3.76 gears, why do some people exerience hitting the rev limiter and some do not??? Also, what can you do if your car is one of the unfortunate few that hit the rev limiter??? I just got my LSD and haven't installed it yet.

 

I use normal mode. But after reading all these posts of people driving in Pwr. I will have to test it out. Im going to call it my turbo button.

 

Some of us with FI and the stock gearing also bounce off the limiter. To my knowledge there is nothing we can do that is a sure fire soluition for everyone.

 

I usually keep it normal... my daily driver and I try not to push until the weekend comes around

 

the thing about power mode is that the shifts are a little rougher

 

wow, im at work reading this..and now..pwr mode all the way...i just thought that it would mess up my tranny or shorten the life of my baby...but i guess not.

 

Morris- what about something like a RaceLogic traction control system? I heard this is the solution (albeit, an expensive one) for the IS FI crowd.
